I'd love to know if anyone has photos of Billy Banks when it was actually lived in?!

Inside the flat next door to the one with the coats in above, there were photographs of young children living there. I left them there (sticking to the golden rule) went back the next day and there had been a fire inside the property. Gutted.com.

Before it was bored up as much as it is now, ex residents would walk through and would engage in a lovely chat about their life at the estate. Actually quite a moving thing to hear first hand what the place was like before it went down hill.

Welcome to the forum too!
